Daoli

It is said to be the best tea for the beginners. In my case it is perfect for sweet tooth. I cannot imagine any tea better for coming home after a walk in -10 degrees. For all freezing sweet tooth people out there, this is a little cup (a few of them) of perfection. <3

It is very flowery, and in my opinion would make a great ice tea.

My favourite one! It has this sweet fresh taste and with the notion of how good ginseng is, I drink it daily.

Not my cup of tea – quite literally :P I prefer stronger taste in my tea and this does not deliver. It would probably be interesting in the summer for ice tea…gotta try that then…

The best oolong I’ve ever had…have to experiment with the steep time but what I got from the 2nd steep (1st one rejected after 5sec as instructed by the tea company) blew me away. Never expected to like any non-black tea so much.

First steep rejected after 5 sec as advised by the tea company. Second steep was very fun to look at while steeping – the “tea button” was opening slowly and it was interesting to watch how the colors were traveling from inside of it to the whole container. I’m not a big fan of pu-erh teas in general but this one tastes really really good.

Just one of the best black teas. Nothing more to say. :)

After my first disappointment over this tea, I was contacted by the tea company and given new instructions. This time I was told I needed to double the amount of tea and drastically shorten the time to 30 sec for the first steep (actually second, first one needed to be rejected after 5 sec as they say).

I must say I’m quite surprised what I got from it – this is a COMPLETELY different tea, a completely different experience. What I’m drinking right now is quite honestly one of the best black teas I’ve ever tasted.

First steep rejected after 5 seconds as recommended by the tea company. 2nd steep left in maybe bit too long – tea is bit bitter and not so tasty.

“Classic” black tea, taste very similar as china black yunnan tea.

Delitious tea.

Interesting taste, but very sweet, too sweet for me.

Interesting sweetness, great taste.

2nd steep – as instructed by the tea company first steep was rejected after 5s steep.
